Approximately 95% of our complaints from the forum originate from Buy/Sale/Trade. We will leave it open eight more weeks and see if things change. As for letting someone else handle the conduct of the forum... It has CMP's name on it and therefore we have to handle it. Hopefully we can keep it going forward. We sure don't want any "knee jerking" or non-Mr. Michaels like activity going on....

Thank you! That, at the very least, gives a reasonable time to wind things down. However, I think you will lose a lot of the interest and people if they have to go elsewhere to try and find parts, etc. I know some people can be very difficult () but it would be a shame for the CMP to kill off an important source of activity related to the Garand and M1 Carbine by killing off the marketplace. Just tell everyone, in BIG warning letters, that it is not sponsored, endorsed, moderated by or otherwise in any way the responsibility or liability of the CMP and that all responsibility and liability rests solely with those who use it or who sell or buy anything.

As an attorney myself, I would ask yours if this wasn't sufficient. Then, if anyone bugs your staff, just send them a copy of the warning.

Excellent. Thanks for reconsidering and reversing, at least temporarily, your decision. Most of us behave and conduct transactions as gentlemen. I am glad the others didn't spoil it for us long term, honest members
